By Brother Initiate Hardi, Surabaya, Indonesia (Originally In Indonesian)

Our great Master, You have come from afar to bring us a mirror. Gently You took my hand and led me to stand in front of the magical mirror. How amazed I was when I saw my own image -- only to find that I have so many faults! I used to think that I was perfect.

Oh! Master! How grateful I am to You. Through thick and thin, You always give me guidance, awaken me from the wayward way, and help me reflect on my deepest ego. How merciful You are to have once again affirmed my faith, and saved me from regressing. You have given me the best potion to overcome ordeals, namely, piety and devotion brought about by my quest for the true Self!

Oh! Master! I absolutely believe that I can improve my meditation, both in quality and quantity, because it is the best weapon to fight my battles with in life.

Oh! Master, my Savior! Please help me to always keep my faith and longing alert!

In deepest remorse, and in tears, I shall end this short prayer. Amen!
